(The ' I'd ' simply for continuity purposes, as your narrative voice [I think, at least] calls for it.)

Unless the quoted dialogue ends a sentence/thought, a comma should always be used before endquotes, or else the quoted text and what precedes it will read like one - making the quotes used moot.

Do you agree or disagree that he should use contractions?
